This Is It - Backwards

[Lizziebee]

Is it Scary by Michael hmm... sounds interesting enough...I don't do it by myself either because my computer is slow ( I been killing it with this hardcore researching)...but i know someone on here can possibly find a way to do it..Yeah i have a myspace and facebook, but no youtube...although i am quite addicted to the youtube watching haha...i going to go see if that song is on youtube backwards for sure...but i kinda nervous to listen to it

Yup. It's a great song. From the Blood on The Dance Floor cd. Which is the one with Morphine(listen if u haven't) Hope u find it. =) Don't be too nervous. I'm there with you in spirit. Lol.

My brother and I used to play all our old records backwards when we were kids. It was the 80's. That's just what we did.  :lol:  Ahh, good times.. Anyway, don't read too much into it. Most reverse messages are not done on purpose, unless you're listening to the likes of Cradle of Filth..  :lol:

The term Backward Masking has been mistakenly given to all forms of backward messages in music whereas in fact there are 2 types -
(1) Backward Masking, which is the deliberate insertion of backward messages
(2) Reverse Speech, the naturally occurring form of backwards messages, or phonetic reversals.

..coincidental phonetic reversals, in which the spoken or sung phonemes form new combinations of words when listened to backwards. Engineering or planning a phonetic reversal is next to impossible, and even more difficult when trying to design it with words that fit into a song. You probably won't hear backmasked messages until somebody first points them out to you. Perception is influenced by expectation and expectation is affected by what others prime you for. The apparent presence of backward messages in popular music is a function more of active construction on the part of the perceiver than of the existence of the messages themselves.

..It claims that during spoken language production, human speakers subconsciously produce hidden messages that give insight into their inner thoughts.

So, maybe it's Michael's subconscious talking - maybe not. Though, hearing "Peter" said in TII intro is pretty amazing, IF it was a natural occurrence, and NOT Michael playing around with backmasking.

I can try Is It Scary backwards if you'd like. This stuff doesn't bother me at all since I'm used to it.

Interesting. Thanks for posting and I am curious if there are any hidden messages in Is It Scary backwards.

He says that..  :shock:

[awesome1]

i decided to take a stab at this and i reversed the human nature, the movie version and im hearing things but i cant make sense of them maybe its the quality of my headset, but if someone else can try this and let me know if they can make sense of it

[SimplyMJ]

Thats so freaky with the TII and the video for it that has the clips from Dont stop til u get enough. but my question is...if we can hear the "help me.." in TII that was recorded by mj, does that mean if someone just records it for them self it would say the same thing?...

I'm still playing with the Audacity program to see what else I can do to make the words clearer.

Melzy777 thanks for the explanations of backmasking and reversing speech.

I believe the reverse of This Is It has been created deliberately. In the process of recording a song musicians/singers can record their bit separately and then the tracks are put together, like when a singer harmonizes with a prerecording of himself.  So I think a hidden message would be on a separate track that is reversed and then added to the song.  Like turning over a deck of cards, a faint or inaudible backwards track would become the dominant track when it is played forwards.  I have no idea how it’s done but I think it must be something like that.
   
This site is investigating the death hoax so shouldn’t we assume that there was no need to dress up an old 80’s song  when it could be recorded by the living artist?   Did someone say this key song for the movie was found in a box?  Compare Michael’s voice from the eighties.  I think he sounds more mature in This Is It?

I hear these phrases repeated
'(maybe "I") was the one in love, (maybe "foolish lover")'
Believe me now
Miss me
This is it

Still can't listen to that ending. I have to take the earphones out.

There are some other words I'm not sure enough about.  Still working on it.

The 1,2,3,4 reminds me of the start of 'Big Girls Don't Cry'.     .  Maybe we should look at that in a new thread.

LOL!  I am still cracking up over your post...the little guy made me start laughing...

[L.O.V.Eispower]

oh my god..that is so freaky..i heard the peter part very clearly..and it does sound lyk 'help me' omg its so scary

im gonna try ripping my this is it cd 2 and yea it is awesomeee!! i love it so glad i bought it so ill do it and backward all the songs and see what happens..

[L.O.V.Eispower]

Michael's songs are the only songs that don't have those creepy sayings about satan which is weird in other songs though such as Obamas theme song as heard in commercials titled "yes we can"...says this over and over again "thank you satan, thank you satan, thank you satan....another song called Stairway to Heaven"...normal lyrics as goes....if theres a bustle in your hedgerow don't be alarmed now, its just a spring clean for the may queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by but in the long run theres still time to change the road your on... now played backwards as goes...oh heres to my sweet satan. The one whose little path would make me sad, whose power is satan. He will give those with him 666. There was a little tool shed where he made us suffer, sad satan.

Is that CREEPY OR WHAT!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!  :shock:

THAT IS CREEPY  :shock: wierd..and if so many  songs are talking abt satan backwards and michaels is calling 4 help and stuff..wat a coincidence! again...dnt know if i actually beLIEve in coincidences anymore lol everything happens 4 a reason hehe
i think it shows that he rly is so innocent and an angel <33 and he needs help

[foralltime]

And here we are listening to backwards songs with the most strange messages and all getting very emotional. True it is freaky and it is necessary to listen and analyze this so we can try to find a way to clear this up, but I really hope that we find the reason for this very soon because at this moment the only thing I can think of is "MIND CONTROL". And to my opinion that was something Michael wanted to get out of. So please stay open minded all for the TRUTH right.
I don't want to lecture anyone here but it just that i have a very uncomfortable feeling about this sorry.

Backmasking (also known as backward masking)[1] is a recording technique in which a sound or message is recorded backward onto a track that is meant to be played forward. Backmasking is a deliberate process, whereas a message found through phonetic reversal may be unintentional.

Backmasking was popularized by The Beatles, who used backward vocals and instrumentation in recording their 1966 album Revolver.[2] Artists have since used backmasking for artistic, comedic, and satiric effect, on both analog and digital recordings. The technique has also been used to censor words or phrases for "clean" releases of songs.

Backmasking has been a controversial topic in the United States since the 1980s, when allegations from Christian groups of its use for Satanic purposes were made against prominent rock musicians, leading to record-burning protests and proposed anti-backmasking legislation by state and federal governments.[3] Whether backmasking can be used subliminally to affect listeners is in debate by both sides
